Assignment 2 required me to create a report on the following things:
Software Utilities
- Security (Virus Protection and Firewalls)
- Clean up tools (Defragmentation and Internet History)
- Drive Formatting
This report was no longer than 500 words, through creating this report I included screenshots and information relating to the screenshots. Through creating this report I learnt a lot about the software utilities which I knew nothing about. I feel I have expanded my knowledge vastly through this task alone.
The second part of this assignment required me to create a recommendation list to a client called Jane recommending components to purchase to make a PC, along with software to go with it. The client made specific requirements that she needed su

Unit 25
Assignment 1 (Part 1)
This assignment has required me to explain a list of different Internal system unit components as well as peripherals such as output devices, input devices and cables. Lastly I have also been required to explain backing storages which relates to performance, the types of the devices and the devices themselves.
Through the explanation of these components I also explained the use of the component and communication between other internal components too.
Below are the components which I have explained fully in this assignment;
Through completing this task I feel I have enhanced my knowledge of some components and gained new knowledge of others. As there was components which was on the least which I knew nothing about, this enabled me to conduct my own research to gain more knowledge of the component so I was able to complete the assignment correctly.
Part 2
This part of the assignment required me to create a presentation about operating system below is what was included within the presentation:
- Comparing two operating systems (Windows and Linux)
- Difference between command line operating systems and GUI operating systems
- Operating system function and services (Peripheral management and security management
- Device drivers
- Operating system features (Ability to customise and cost and support for user)
Within this presentation I was comparing and contrasting systems as well as explaining different functions and services. I learnt a lot through creating this presentation as I have stronger knowledge of these subjects than I did before I started.

Below are the components which I have explained fully in this assignment;
Internal system unit components:
- Processors
- Motherboard
- BIOS
- Power Supply
- Fan and heat sink cooling
- Hard drive controllers (choose two of either SATA, PATA IDE and EIDE) *
- Hard drive configuration (master and slave)
- Ports (choose two of either USB, parallel or serial) *
- Internal memory (choose two of either RAM, ROM or L1/L2/L3 Cache) *
- Specialised cards (choose two of either network or graphic cards) *
Peripherals
- Output devices (choose two of either a monitor, printer or plotter) *
- Input devices (choose two of either a camera or a scanner) *
- Cabling (choose two of either coaxial, optical or twisted pair) *
Backing storage
- Types (choose two of either disks, pen drives, optical media or flash memory cards) *
- Portable and fixed drives

Starting on Unit 20
Unit 20 relates to creating a website in code, and as I haven't had no experience in any sort of coding I was advised to go onto Codecademey in order to learn coding.
Through using Codecademy I have learnt the basics of HTML & CSS which will help me through this unit.
However another part of this unit was the planning stage, as I was required to draw up annotated sketches of my website so I have a rough idea of how I want it to look. I created electronic sketches in order to help me through this task.
Once completed the sketches I further created a tree diagram which displayed how different pages interlinked together and what basic information was on each page. Through doing these tasks it will help me start up my website and influence my final design.

Unit 3 Assessment 1 and 2
Today I moved onto assessment 1 and 2 for Unit 3.
Assessment 1 (Part 1)
This activity required me to collect examples of a number of documents created by different people, the type of documents I needed to collect was the following:
- Short (Letter)
- Extended (User Guide)
- Graphical (Chart)
- Promotional (Leaflet)
- Informal (Text)
- Formal (Agenda)
For each of the following documents I had created, I then when onto explain what the document was, what was the purpose for the specific document and lastly the target audience of the document too.
Assessment 1 (Part 2)
Part 2 of this assessment was to describe the features of different applications which made them suitable for presenting and communicating information.
I was required to choose one application from the following categories:
- Text based
- Graphics
- Presentation Based
- Other e.g. mobile phones, email, multimedia.
For the four applications I gave an explanation of the application, described the features which are included in the application. Then finally included what types of information the application is used for.
Assessment 2
In this assessment we was required to review each others work in terms of are minutes recorded. Me and I peer paired up and sent each other are minute meeting reviewing them adding comments on suggestions on possible areas of improvement which related to possible detail which was included.
Once we had received are reviews back then we had to act upon the feedback which was given to us.

Week 3: Unit 3
Today I have started a new unit which is based around presenting information using IT.
Activity 1
I was given a case study that I was working for a company called PTIN who specialise in the support of small business.
The case study states that the manager is not happy with the email which has been displayed and it is my job to reformat the email in a professional email.
For my first activity I was required to amend an email which I had been used incorrectly, picking out the spelling mistakes and the incorrect language used. (E.g. Informal and Formal language.)
Once I outlined the errors within the email, I was writing improvements which needed to be made.
I followed this up by redrafting the email in a professional manor, allowing the email to be a up to a formal business standard.
Once the email was fully redrafted I then wrote a report to the manager commenting on the changes which I have made to the email, and why they are improvements. Overall I created a very professional email using the correct language and formatting techniques to suit the correct audience.
Activity 2
The second activity involved me to team up with two other members in my class, once teamed up we was required to have a meeting and record the minutes from the meeting. The meeting involved agendas and actions to show evidence that the meeting took place.
The meeting which took place was about an order form, we needed to found out information concerning the creation of the order form. The three of us broke of doing different tasks, it was my job to review the layout of a order form to see what the typical characteristics are so that we can include those in are very own order form. It was my other class mates job to research the contents of a order form to help us put together are very own so that we know what to include. Lastly it was the final class mates job to create are business information so that we can include that information when creating the order form.
Once the three of us had conducted are research we finally came together to have are final meeting which allowed the three of us to discuss what we found out.
Once the meeting was over I then created the order form, through are meeting and research it really helped me create an effective and professional order form.
Activity 3
This activity required me to create my newsletters for PTIN which was the business involved in the case study.
The newsletter was required to include the following:
- Graphics, columns, text boxes
- Latest news
- Case studies
- Web
- Social
- Other
